Anyone attending Goodguys in Columbus next weekend? - Lateral-g Forums

Looking forward to another great show. I am going with my friend in his '29 track roadster. I know it is not a g-machine, however, my buddy Jeff built 90% of the car himself. I figured this group would appreciate the craftsmanship! He was involved in every aspect of professional racing at one point or another (won Indy in '86 with Rahal) and ended his career as a co-owner of the Tasman motorsports Champ-car team. The car has a Brookville body, but Jeff machined/fabbed everything else including the hood. The nose is carbon fiber, the frame was fabbed from box tube and hand bent the old school way with a torch and a bunch of wet towels.

Jeff designed and helped me build the frame that I am running on my 69 camaro convt.

More of Jeff's car can be seen at:

I met Jeff Trush a couple of years ago at this show as well as Steilow and Kyle. I look forward to meeting more!

That's a great car, and you're right, there are a lot of people here that can appreciate the craftsmanship in building a car like that.

I am planning on being there. Going to be a long haul with a fresh restification from Florida to Ohio with my wife and one year old.

Steve...I really hope I get to meet you there. Your 69 was a big inspiration for me. I would like to show you my car in person and get your thoughts on who/what/where how I could maybe get some magazine exposure.

See you guys there......

I agree on the first two (we are gonna shoot the second one).. but the third one I find awful.. too gaudy.. maybe with some different wheels and steering wheel, I just don't dig the flame shaped billet stuff. It is like 1980 all over again..

Jody and I checked out the 2nd one on the Power Tour. Frieburger and Kinaan stopped by to check it out, too, but David wasn't overly excited about it because it had sticker tires on it the whole week.

It had a nice color combination.
